Amazon FBA fees eat into your margins. Understanding exactly what you pay and why helps you make better pricing and logistics decisions.
Referral Fee
A percentage of the selling price, typically 15 percent for most categories. This is charged on every sale regardless of fulfilment method.
FBA Fulfilment Fee
A per-unit fee based on the size and weight of your product. This covers picking, packing, shipping to the customer, and customer service.
Monthly Storage Fee
Charged per cubic foot of space your inventory occupies. Rates increase significantly during Q4 (October to December).
Long-Term Storage Fee
Additional fees for inventory stored over 181 days. This is designed to discourage sellers from using Amazon warehouses as long-term storage.
Other Fees
- Removal and disposal fees
- Returns processing fee (for some categories)
- Unplanned service fees (for improperly prepared inventory)
